Nutritional
Assessments Reduce Length of Hospital Stays
Recent studies report that the length of hospitalization was
reduced by 60% when nutritional status was evaluated and treated. These
were patients being treated for medical disorders or receiving surgical
interventions unrelated to nutritional or metabolic disorders. The potential
savings to hospitals, insurance carriers, and patients is staggering!
The bottom line: meeting the nutritional needs of all patients equals
better and more efficient care.
